    i'm keeping on with the thought that the halcyon days of a few wins a week will one day return. it's funny how you get thinking oh maybe it's time to stop entering but comping addiction is too strong :rotfl:


    Snap. I've not had a sniff of a win since August and I keep thinking of toning it down or packing it in, but when it comes down to it the comping bug is just too strong!

    I've had 6 month of winning nothing but shampoo and conditioner
    fed up.. head hurts.. I'm full of cold, my finger hurts cause I've just spent the last week doing as many comps as I can because I really need to have a half decent win so with that moan out the way I just hope it work xx sorry can't post any smiles as they have disappeared.xx
  • Well, this seems as good a place as any to say hello to you all from a new 'comper'!
    Just thought I'd give it a go and enter a few when I have some spare time at the PC, I've only entered about 50 this weekend, how much do other people enter at a time?

    Keep your chin up OP, you've had some good luck before and proved you can win as long as you play!

    Hopefully I can add some wins to my signature one day like you inspiring people.

    Good luck!

    the not winning vicious cycle
    Try entering for cycles that are less vicious. :)

    I know what you mean though, this year has not been so good for me, I've been toying with entering the 'photo effort' comps, as there are a growing number of them.
